Placerita Junior High

Placerita along with Rancho Pico and Rio Norte were named California Distinguished Schools for 2021. State Superintendent Tony Thurmond said “These schools are great examples of California’s commitment to provide outstanding public education for all students, and their data-driven efforts have helped ensure that their students leave with the tools and skills they need to be successful after graduation,” Thurmond said. “Our thanks go to the entire communities surrounding these schools, including the teachers, administrators, and classified employees as well as the students and their families who, through teamwork, all accomplished this impressive achievement together.”
